Diablo 4 General Manager Rod Fergusson has congratulated Path of Exile 2 developer Grinding Gear Games on the game’s successful launch, even admitting he’ll jump into the game himself. The Early Access release of PoE 2 has drawn hundreds of thousands of players on Steam, including some ARPG competitors. The game has become the third most popular title on Steam, behind Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2.
The game’s popularity exceeded expectations, with over a million players attempting to access the servers at launch. Despite charging for its Early Access version, PoE 2 has achieved double the peak player count of its predecessor. This success showcases Grinding Gear Games’ expertise in creating engaging ARPG experiences.
Fergusson expressed his excitement for playing the game over the holidays and acknowledged the difficulty in choosing a class to play. His sentiments will likely resonate with fans awaiting their turn to experience PoE 2.
